Mount Marcus Baker

Mount Marcus Baker reaches an elevation of 4,016 meters and stands as the highest mountain in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska, located 121 kilometers east of Anchorage.

The mountain received its current name in honor of cartographer Marcus Baker, replacing its original designation as Mount Saint Agnes given by USGS surveyor James Bagley.

The mountain holds dual names in indigenous languages: Ts'itonhna Dghilaaye in Ahtna and Ch'atanhtnu Dghelaya in Dena'ina, reflecting local Native American heritage.

Climbing expeditions require technical snow and ice equipment, with April through June offering the most suitable conditions for ascending the North Ridge route.

The peak ranks 67th globally for topographic prominence, standing just 19 kilometers north of Harvard Glacier's calving face.
